The Tennis Bug

Donny and I just finished playing 

in our second tennis tournament together.

We started up the Millville Days Tennis Tournament last year

and both years it has been so much fun.

We have gotten so obsessed each time

with learning and practicing this great sport.

(Thank you Elisabeth and Logan for encouraging us to 

build our house by the tennis courts!)

We've made it to the finals both years 

and we are consistent at winning 2nd place.

 All our kids, especially our oldest have also got the tennis bug.

After breakfast and morning chores are done,

everyone runs out to the tennis courts.

All the neighborhood kids join us-

it looks like we have a huge tennis lesson going on daily.

I have often wondered why I get so obsessed with things.

Whatever I get into, I GET INTO it until I have mastered it.

I just finished reading "Peter Pan" 

and at the end of the book there was this quote I loved:

"Whatever Mr. Darling did, he had to do in excess;

otherwise he soon gave up."

It felt so good to know Mr. Darling had my same tendencies!
